Question

2 × 32 × 7 is the prime factorization for what number?

Answer 1

448

Explanation:

The answer is 448 because if you multiply the 3 numbers, you get 448.

First multiply the smaller numbers:

`7 * 2 = 14`

Now multiply 14 by 32:

`14 * 32 = 448`

Note: The prime factorization isn't simplified because 32 can be broken into 16 and 2(16 × 2 = 32). 16 can also be broken down into 4 and 4(4 × 4 = 16. Both of the 4's can be broken down into 2 and 2.

That would give you 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7
